Investigation on the hysteretic performance of tubular lead-column laminated rubber damper

Frontiers in Built Environment
IntroductionTo improve the engineering applicability of lead-core dampers and enhance their self-centering performance, the tubular lead-column laminated rubber damper (TL-CLRD) is proposed.MethodsFirst, considering the confined behavior of lead ...

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2233-2254, August 2026.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Beam to Column Timber Joints with Pretensioned Bolts

Civil Engineering Dimension, 2011
The effects of pretension in bolts on hysteretic response of timber joints exposed to a bending had been reported by the authors, but the cyclic tests were carried out at small displacement level which might not be applicable for earthquake-resistance ...

Damping and non-linearity of a levitating magnet in rotation above a superconductor

New Journal of Physics, 2014
We study the dissipation of moving magnets in levitation above a superconductor. The rotation motion is analyzed using optical tracking techniques. It displays a remarkable regularity together with long damping time up to several hours.

Low Cycle Repetitive Loading of Ti‐6Al‐4V‐Epoxy Composite Lattice Structures for Enhanced Energy Dissipation and Damage Tolerance

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 14, 22 July 2026.
Composite Ti–6Al–4V–epoxy lattice structures are additively manufactured and epoxy infiltrated for cyclic loading. At low lattice volume fractions, hybridization produces synergistic gains in stiffness and energy dissipation. At higher volume fractions, synergy diminishes, although composites still exceed metallic lattices in specific energy ...

Numerical Parametric Study and Design Optimization of Irregular Steel Joints with Viscous Dampers in Modern Chinese Traditional-Style Buildings

Buildings
Modern Chinese traditional-style buildings (MCTBs) preserve the beam–column –construction of historical architecture, but the irregularity of joints continues to constrain their seismic performance.
